On the recordJune 30, 2000
Senator Lugar, I know you're aware of the tremendous good that the Comprehensive School Reform program (CSRD) has introduced to many struggling schools with high proportions of disadvantaged students, and the potential that the program offers for the numerous schools that desire to implement comprehensive reform in their buildings. While I recognize the considerable task of Chairman Spector and Ranking Member Harkin in accommodating the great number of priorities funded in the FY'01 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill, it concerns me that the bill before us provides no funds for the CSRD-- a tremendously popular and effective program.
